Judges 1

²¹ The Benjamites, however, failed to drive out the Jebusites living in Jerusalem. So to this day the Jebusites live there among the Benjamites.

²² The house of Joseph also attacked Bethel, and the LORD was with them.

²³ They sent spies to Bethel (formerly known as Luz),

²⁴ and when the spies saw a man coming out of the city, they said to him, “Please show us how to get into the city, and we will treat you kindly.”

²⁵ So the man showed them the entrance to the city, and they put the city to the sword but released that man and all his family.
